The hindwing in Ametris is usually "rounded" and the forewing is some kind scallopped and whereas Ametris has an outward rounded forewing in Macaria there is at the "same place" an inward bow. So yours looks for me more like Macaria than Ametris.

Remembers me of a Macaria sp., but most of them are unidentified even by the experts.
